How to Dispose of Your Garbage (Make sure to take it out by 8 am!)
In Japan, there are different ways of collecting and disposing of garbage depending on what you are disposing of and where you live. Correctly disposing of your garbage is key to a clean environment. We also ask that everyone reuse and recycle whenever possible to reduce waste.

City Designated Containers (市指定のコンテナ, shi shitei no kontena)
Before, in Tomobe/Iwama Districts, white containers were used for collection of Recyclables and green containers were used for collection of Non-Burnable Garbage, but in June 2020, they were replaced by blue containers.
Currently, regardless of the color of the container, recyclables and Non-Burnable Garbage can be disposed of in white, green, and blue containers.
